COLOUR CODED PARKING SENSORS with REVERSE CAMERA
The owner of this brand new Seat came to B&B Audioconcepts for a reverse parking camera with parking guidelines and colour coded parking sensors.
What is a Rear Camera
A reversing camera is a special type of video camera that is produced specifically for the purpose of being attached to the rear of a vehicle to aid in reversing up, and to alleviate the rear blind spot. Backup cameras are alternatively known as ‘reversing cameras’ or ‘rear view cameras’. It is specifically designed to avoid a backup collision. The design of a reverse camera is distinct from other cameras in that the image is horizontally flipped so that the output is a mirror image. This is necessary because the camera and the driver face opposite directions, and without it, the camera’s right would be on the driver’s left and vice versa. A mirrored image makes the orientation of the display consistent with the physical mirrors installed on the vehicle. A reverse camera typically sports a wide-angle or fisheye lens. While such a lens spoils the camera’s ability to see faraway objects, it allows the camera to see an uninterrupted horizontal path from one rear corner to the other. The camera is typically pointed on a downward angle, to view potential obstacles on the ground as well as the position of approaching walls.
What are the benefits
- Helps reversing cars/vans
- Guidelines can be really helpful so the driver knows exactly the width of the vehicle to park.
- Clearly show the ground behind the car, of which may not normally be visible from the driver’s view (blind spots)
- Greater vehicle safety management
- Makes driving much more convenient
B&B Audioconcepts can fit any type of reverse camera to your vehicle and can offer a multitude of features that you would normally only get from a manufacturer. As with the Seat we installed a reverse camera with reverse guidelines. The image displayed on your headunit includes guidelines to show distance to help you estimate the space required when parking. The guidelines in the Seat adjust based on steering wheel movement data.
